The Object

The runner does one quiet job.

It lies across the foot of the bed, 50 cm deep, 250 cm wide. Wide enough to cover the foot of a king, deep enough to fold a guest into on a cold night. It is the layer you pull up at 2 AM when your feet are cold and you don't want the whole duvet.

It is also the layer that takes the wear. Shoes, bags set down on the bed, the dog who isn't supposed to be there. The runner takes the abuse so the duvet underneath stays clean. It washes in a way a full duvet cover doesn't want to.

We made it from the same long-staple Portuguese cotton as The Throw, woven in the same mill in Vila Nova de Famalicão. Heavy enough to drape clean across the bed without sliding, finished with a mitred hem Mei turns by hand so there's no raw edge to fray.

Three colors, matched to the rest of the line. Charcoal, Oat, Sage.

What you give up: it's a finishing piece, not a primary blanket. On its own it won't keep you warm through the night. It's the last thing you add to a bed, not the first.

What it's for

It's the difference between made and finished.

A bed with sheets and a duvet is made. A bed with a runner laid across the foot is finished. It's the smallest object in the room doing the most visual work, the line that anchors the bed and tells the eye the room was put together on purpose.

It earns its place practically too. The foot of the bed is where the wear happens, and the runner takes it instead of the duvet. Pull it up over your feet on a cold night without disturbing the rest of the bed. It is, quietly, the most-used piece you'll own.

Common questions.

What size bed does it fit?

At 250 cm wide it covers the foot of a double, queen or king. On a double it hangs a little lower at each side, which looks intentional. On a king it sits flush.

Is it warm enough to sleep under?

It's a finishing layer, not a primary blanket. Folded double it'll keep your feet warm and works as a nap throw, but it isn't built to keep you warm through a full night on its own. For that, see The Throw.

Does it match the rest of the line?

Yes. Same three neutrals, Charcoal, Oat, Sage, and the same Portuguese cotton as The Throw. An Oat runner sits over an Oat duvet without colour-clashing.

How does it wash?

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Iron warm if you want a crisp edge. The whole point of a runner is that it washes easily, it takes the wear so the duvet under it doesn't have to. OEKO-TEX cotton holds up best without fabric softener.

What's the return policy?

30 nights. Lay it on the bed, live with it. If it isn't right, send it back. UK return shipping is on us. International, you pay the return.
